And my best wishes to everyone who is celebrating *something*!

I see a lot of good fake definitions on this list. <sigh>

Here are my choices:

<< 6. A half-circle window, usually over an entrance door.

<< 7. A rigid halo used in the management of cervical spine
<< injuries to stabilize the neck and minimize nerve damage

[Dodi Schultz]

> First, a very Merry Christmas . . .

And the same to you, Chris!

Fully half of these defs appear perfectly possible (I've probably
eliminated the wrong half, but . . . ). *Very* difficult to choose.

I'll try:

> 6. A half-circle window, usually over an entrance door.
>

and

> 8. An introduction or preamble.

[Tim B]

10 and 15, please.

Best wishes,
Tim B.

[Daniel B. Widdis]

9 and 11 with a ho, ho, ho at 13.

[Tim Lodge]

I'll fall for:

> *8. An introduction or preamble.

> *9. To teach wrongly, pervert, seduce.

Happy Christmas to everyone.

-- Tim L

[EnDash@aol.com]

For me, the guesses are 9 and 18.



9. To teach wrongly, pervert, seduce.


18. In a learned or erudite manner.

Chris

To everyone, complements of whichever season is yours

Have a good day - our day is almost over - a very non-day too as our two
sons and friends arrive tomorrow at about 4:30pm so that is when we will
stuff ourselves with food and have presents etc

meanwhile, back to the game - A nice collection - I'll go for - #9 and #15
as I think that they are related but from different subjective positions
